Maybe being pedantic, but the top level container would be the HTML element,
and backgrounds that are meant to stretch to the entire window/viewport
should be placed as style rules to it. Otherwise, it can happen that, if the
content is too short, the background itself will only appear behind the
content, resulting in even more white space at the bottom.
(although I seem to recall that this problem only appears once you start
sending XHTML strict with a proper XML mime type)
